Contests & Promotions

I saw an article about playing a mono-black style earlier this year, so I decided to further develop upon a concept I drew from the article and create a fairly powerful all black deck. With that said, this deck has its obvious shortcomings, as it revolves around the use of a solitary color, yet it is also that flaw which results in the deck’s ability to win effortlessly. The basic concept or motif of the deck is to amass as much mana as possible, and use it to kill your opponent in a couple of turns. This is similar to the way white decks can amass life very quickly, except in this case, we can do massive amounts of damage very shortly.

) and each player gets to choose which card he or she is going to sacrifice, thus it negates the effect of “Protection” spells. [Editor's note: The technical reason is because these spells don't target or damage the creature, which are the main reasons for Protection against removal.] The deck relies heavily on drawing a Cabal Coffers

, which can copy the spell for a fraction of the cost. All in all, this deck fares very well against aggro decks and the like, and moderately well against control decks. Recently, I have noticed some weaknesses while competing in tournament play, and I am currently working the final kinks out.

All suggestions and advice are very much appreciated!
